Irritating backup error 8070002 and 8100002F - has anyone solved this?
I've looked on so many forums for an answer to this problem and still not found an answer that works Have just done two backups in the last two days with the following results:
2013-03-04
Backup encountered a problem while backing up file C:\Users\my name\Saved Games. Error: (The system cannot find the file specified. (0x80070002))
Details also specified error code 8100002F
2013-03-05
Backup encountered a problem while backing up file C:\Users\my name\Saved Games. Error: (The system cannot find the file specified. (0x80070002))
With 8100002F again.
Both were normal Windows backups letting Windows choose and were done on different external usb hard drives (just in case it was the specific drive causing a problem) but the result was the same. Microsoft's advice site regarding these errors doesn't work - I don't seem to have the error descriptions they specify in any case.
End summary in both cases: Backup completed but some files were skipped.
This is probably very boring as so many people are obviously having very similar problems, but I just want to know if these backups are useable - i.e. can they be used to restore my system should it be necessary?
